  git clone https://github.com/BadToBest/EchoMimic
  cd EchoMimic

• Tested System Environment: Centos 7.2/Ubuntu 22.04, Cuda >= 11.7
• Tested GPUs: A100(80G) / RTX4090D (24G) / V100(16G)
• Tested Python Version: 3.8 / 3.10 / 3.11

Create conda environment (Recommended):

  conda create -n echomimic python=3.8
  conda activate echomimic

Install packages with pip

  pip install -r requirements.txt

Download and decompress ffmpeg-static, then

export FFMPEG_PATH=/path/to/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/BadToBest/EchoMimic pretrained_weights

The pretrained_weights is organized as follows.

./pretrained_weights/
├── denoising_unet.pth
├── reference_unet.pth
├── motion_module.pth
├── face_locator.pth
├── sd-vae-ft-mse
│   └── ...
├── sd-image-variations-diffusers
│   └── ...
└── audio_processor
    └── whisper_tiny.pt

In which denoising_unet.pth / reference_unet.pth / motion_module.pth / face_locator.pth are the main checkpoints of EchoMimic. Other models in this hub can be also downloaded from it's original hub, thanks to their brilliant works:

• sd-vae-ft-mse
• sd-image-variations-diffusers
• audio_processor(whisper)

Run the python inference script:

  python -u infer_audio2vid.py
  python -u infer_audio2vid_pose.py

Edit the inference config file ./configs/prompts/animation.yaml, and add your own case:

test_cases:
  "path/to/your/image":
    - "path/to/your/audio"

The run the python inference script:

  python -u infer_audio2vid.py

(Firstly download the checkpoints with '_pose.pth' postfix from huggingface)

Edit driver_video and ref_image to your path in demo_motion_sync.py, then run

  python -u demo_motion_sync.py

Edit ./configs/prompts/animation_pose.yaml, then run

  python -u infer_audio2vid_pose.py

Set draw_mouse=True in line 135 of infer_audio2vid_pose.py. Edit ./configs/prompts/animation_pose.yaml, then run

  python -u infer_audio2vid_pose.py

Thanks to the contribution from @Robin021:

python -u webgui.py --server_port=3000
